Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a stacking device for assembling stacks of flat
sheet-like pieces of an electrical device, such as plates or gaskets of fuel cells
or electrolytic baths, or battery cells.
Background
[0002] The core of fuel cell production is the alternate stacking of bipolar plates and
membrane electrode plates. Both the bipolar plates and the membrane electrode plates
are soft sheet products similar to paper. Since the bipolar plates and the membrane
electrode plates may have small or even large deviations, they may be prone to deviations
relative to the proper position of each plate within the stack. If the stack deviation
is too large, risks such as hydrogen leakage and product scrap are easily caused.
Therefore, a device needs to have an accurate stacking function. The device has to
stack thousands of bipolar plates and membrane electrode plates, so the device should
have a high stacking speed. In addition, fuel cell manufacturers often require a device
to be compatible with hydrogen fuel cell products of various heights, so the device
further needs to have a certain degree of flexible compatibility. How to ensure the
stacking accuracy, speed efficiency and flexibility compatibility of the device has
become a technical difficulty.

Detailed Description
[0017] The present invention is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
It should be understood that these embodiments are only intended to illustrate the
present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition,
it should also be understood that after reading what is taught herein, those skilled
in the art may make various alterations or modifications to the present invention,
and these equivalent forms likewise fall within the scope limited by the claims appended
to the present application.
[0018] In combination with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the present embodiment discloses a device
for assembling and alternately stacking bipolar plates and membrane electrode plates
of fuel cells. The device includes a device base 110, and a gantry four-built-up shaft
carrying mechanism is mounted on the device base 110. The gantry four-built-up shaft
carrying mechanism includes a gantry 105, four built-up shafts are arranged on the
gantry 105 and are defined as a first built-up shaft 101, a second built-up shaft
102, a third built-up shaft 103 and a fourth built-up shaft 104 respectively, and
each built-up shaft is provided with a suction cup assembly 204 (the structure is
as shown in Fig. 6, as detailed below). A membrane electrode plate centering table
201, a bipolar plate centering table 202, a membrane electrode plate feeding bin 106,
a membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205, a bipolar plate feeding
bin 107, a bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208, a stacked sheet lifting mechanism
108 and a roller way 109 which are fixed on the device base 110 are arranged below
the four built-up shafts. The membrane electrode plate centering table 201, the bipolar
plate centering table 202, the membrane electrode plate feeding bin 106, the membrane
electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205, the bipolar plate feeding bin 107,
the bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208, and the stacked sheet lifting mechanism
108 are horizontally arranged below the gantry 105, jointly forming the whole device
to work.
[0019] Before the device works, a membrane electrode plate is manually fed into the membrane
electrode plate feeding bin 106, and a bipolar plate is manually fed into the bipolar
plate feeding bin 107. A tray 203 with a fuel cell housing is conveyed by the automatic
roller way 109 to the stacked sheet lifting mechanism 108 located at the center of
the device. Then, the membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 lifts
the membrane electrode plate in the membrane electrode plate feeding bin 106 to a
needed height, the bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208 lifts the bipolar plate
in the bipolar plate feeding bin 107 to a needed height, and the stacked sheet lifting
mechanism 108 lifts a floating end plate 505 in the fuel cell housing located at a
stacking position 209 to an initial height. The gantry four-built-up shaft carrying
mechanism starts to work: the first built-up shaft 101 carries the membrane electrode
plate from the membrane electrode plate feeding bin 106 to the membrane electrode
plate centering table 201, and after the membrane electrode plate is adjusted to a
standard position by the membrane electrode plate centering table 201, the second
built-up shaft 102 carries the membrane electrode plate from the membrane electrode
plate centering table 201 to the stacking position 209. The fourth built-up shaft
104 carries the bipolar plate from the bipolar plate feeding bin 107 to the bipolar
plate centering table 202, and after the bipolar plate is adjusted to a standard position
by the bipolar plate centering table 202, the third built-up shaft 103 carries the
bipolar plate from the bipolar plate centering table 202 to the stacking position
209. It works in this way in a reciprocating cycle. The height of the membrane electrode
plate or the bipolar plate located at a feeding position is always maintained constant
by the membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 and the bipolar plate
feeding lifting mechanism 208. The height of a product located at the stacking position
209 is always maintained constant by the stacked sheet lifting mechanism 108. The
heights of the membrane electrode plate centering table 201 and the bipolar plate
centering table 202 are exactly the same as the heights of product picking-up and
placing positions.
[0020] Each built-up shaft is composed of a horizontal movement shaft and a vertical movement
shaft, wherein the four horizontal shafts are mainly configured to horizontally carry
the membrane electrode plate and the bipolar plate, and the four vertical shafts only
makes short-stroke lifting, so as to ensure the stacking speed. The four horizontal
shafts of the four built-up shafts are mounted on a roller way of the same gantry,
and a magnetic drive linear motor is preferably used to achieve a higher speed, or
gears and racks may also be used at a better cost. The horizontal movement of the
four horizontal shafts should be controlled separately to achieve linkage without
collision. Each vertical shaft of the four built-up shafts has a set of suction cup
assembly 204, only makes short-stroke up-and-down movement and completes actions of
picking up and placing products through the suction cup assembly 204. In order to
achieve stacking work of high speed and high efficiency, the four built-up shafts
perform left-right crossed division work. The first built-up shaft 101 and the second
built-up shaft 102 are on the left side. The first built-up shaft 101 takes the membrane
electrode plate from the feeding position and discharges the membrane electrode plate
on the membrane electrode plate centering table 201. The second built-up shaft 102
takes the membrane electrode plate from the membrane electrode plate centering table
201 and discharges the membrane electrode plate on the middle stacking position 209.
The third built-up shaft 103 and the fourth built-up shaft 104 are on the right side.
The fourth built-up shaft 104 takes the bipolar plate from the bipolar plate feeding
position and discharges the bipolar plate on the bipolar plate centering table 202.
The third built-up shaft 103 takes the bipolar plate from the bipolar plate centering
table 202 and discharges the bipolar plate on the middle stacking position 209. The
four built-up shafts perform left-right crossed division work, when the second built-up
shaft 102 takes the membrane electrode plate from the membrane electrode plate centering
table 201, the third built-up shaft 103 discharges the bipolar plate on the middle
stacking position 209. On the contrary, when the second built-up shaft 102 discharges
the membrane electrode plate on the middle stacking position 209, the third built-up
shaft 103 takes the bipolar plate from the bipolar plate centering table 202, and
through crossed work, no time is wasted. The height positions of the four built-up
shafts for feeding and discharging the products are fixed, so the vertical shafts
of the four built-up shafts only need to move up and down in short strokes to pick
up and place the materials, which ensures the efficient transfer speed. At the feeding
positions of the membrane electrode plate and the bipolar plate, every time when one
piece of the membrane electrode plate or bipolar plate is taken away by the built-up
shaft above, the bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208 or the membrane electrode
plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 located at the feeding position raises by a thickness
of one piece of product, thereby ensuring that the height of picking up the materials
at the feeding position is unchanged. At the middle stacking position 209, every time
when one piece of product is placed, the stacked sheet lifting mechanism 108 decreases
by the thickness of one piece of product, thereby ensuring that the height of the
stacking position is always unchanged.
[0021] As shown in Fig. 3, the membrane electrode plate centering table 201 and the bipolar
plate centering table 202 are the same in structure and function and each include
a centering table bracket 301, the centering table bracket 301 is provided with a
motor-driven platform 310, the motor-driven platform 310 is able to rotate a platform
upper end plate front and back, right and left, and at an angle, with the cooperation
of position detection cameras 307, a product position deviation amount can be recognized
and calculated in a short period of time, the device then gives the position deviation
amount to the motor-driven platform 310, and then the motor-driven platform 310 moves
the platform upper end plate to the needed position. A ceramic suction cup 306 and
the platform upper end plate are mounted into a whole; and after the membrane electrode
plate or the bipolar plate is put onto a plane of the ceramic suction cup 306, a vacuum
generator 303 starts to work, and the ceramic suction cup 306 fixes the bipolar plate
or the membrane electrode plate through negative pressure adsorption force and prevents
the bipolar plate or the membrane electrode plate from freely moving. At this time,
the position detection cameras 307 start to work to take pictures, a product position
deviation is calculated based on obtained images and then transmitted to the motor-driven
platform 310, and the membrane electrode plate or the bipolar plate is moved to a
correct position. At this time, a two-dimensional code scanner 302 scans a two-dimensional
code on the membrane electrode plate or the bipolar plate to ensure that the membrane
electrode plate or the bipolar plate is of a correct category. A product thickness
measurement sensor 311 measures a product thickness of the membrane electrode plate
or the bipolar plate to confirm that there is only one membrane electrode plate or
bipolar plate. If it is confirmed that it is the required membrane electrode plate
or bipolar plate, the gantry four-built-up shaft carrying mechanism carries the membrane
electrode plate or the bipolar plate to the stacking position 209, and cameras 313
mounted on camera brackets 308 detect whether the position accuracy of the placed
membrane electrode plate or bipolar plate is accurate. If the product category is
not correct or the position deviation is too large, the gantry four-built-up shaft
carrying mechanism carries the membrane electrode plate or the bipolar plate at the
stacking position 209 to a waste bin 314. When the waste bin 314 is full of materials,
a waste bin fixing pin 305 is unlocked manually first, the waste bin 314 is pulled
out along a guide rail 304, and the waste materials are removed manually.
[0022] As shown in Fig. 4, the membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 and
the bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208 are the same in structure and function,
and the membrane electrode plate feeding bin 106 and the bipolar plate feeding bin
107 are the same in structure and function. The membrane electrode plate feeding bin
106 or the bipolar plate feeding bin 107 is mounted on a feeding mechanism bracket
405, and includes bin base plates 404 mounted on the feeding mechanism bracket 405,
a plurality of bins are mounted on the bin base plates 404, and each bin is composed
of six bin guide stand columns 401, is internally made of Teflon, is wear-resisting
and does not damage the membrane electrode plate and the bipolar plate. A stand column
at an end plate can be rapidly taken down or mounted, a bin guide mechanism 409 close
to a current operator can be rapidly dismounted and mounted only by manually unlocking
a spring plug pin 406, and the bins are conveniently supplemented manually. The two
bin base plates 404 are fixed to the feeding mechanism bracket 405 by means of respective
slide rails respectively so as to form two feeding channels on left and right sides,
and each feeding channel is controlled to move by an independent rodless cylinder
402. When one of the feeding channels works in the device, the other feeding channel
is individually pulled out by the rodless cylinder 402 to complete manual replenishment.
The objective is to make the time of manual replenishment not occupy the equipment
takt time. A counter sensor is mounted above the membrane electrode plate feeding
bin 106 or the bipolar plate feeding bin 107, which can detect the height of the product
in real time, control the feeding lift, and ensure that the height of the product
at the feeding position is stable.
[0023] The membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 or the bipolar plate feeding
lifting mechanism 208 is located below the bin base plates 404, the two channels share
one set of membrane electrode plate feeding lifting mechanism 205 or one set of bipolar
plate feeding lifting mechanism 208, the membrane electrode plate feeding lifting
mechanism 205 or the bipolar plate feeding lifting mechanism 208 includes a feeding
lifting mechanism sliding table 407, the feeding lifting mechanism sliding table 407
is provided with a vertical servo module 403, the lifting height can be rapidly adjusted
to be compatible with more types of products, and the servo module 403 drives the
feeding lifting mechanism sliding table 407 to lift the membrane electrode plate or
the bipolar plate in the bins to a needed height. The feeding lifting mechanism sliding
table 407 is mounted on a feeding lifting mechanism base 408 and is capable of sliding
left and right on the feeding lifting mechanism base 408, so as to switch a lifting
position, thereby saving cost and achieving rapid switching.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, the product tray 203 is arranged at a stacking station
lifting mechanism bracket 503, and after the tray 203 is delivered to this position
by the conveying roller way 109, an air cylinder 502 lifts the tray to disengage the
tray from the roller way, to ensure the position positioning accuracy of the tray.
Then gear rods 501 are lifted upwards under the drive of a motor 508 to lift the floating
end plate 513 in the product to the needed height. The motor 508 drives a speed reducer
506, the speed reducer 506 and a shaft 509 are connected by a coupling 510, the shaft
509 drives two gearboxes 511 at the same time, and the two gearboxes 511 drive the
gear rods 501 at the same time, so that the lifting and descending of the two gear
rods 501 can be synchronized. Positioning sleeves 504 ensure the position accuracy
of the gear rods 501, and the gear rods are provided with positioning pin sleeves
505, which can precisely position the floating end plate 513.

materials imitating the shape of the product. The ceramic has micropores with internal

the product. A vacuum generator 606 may provide a suction force for the ceramic suction
cup 601 to provide the ceramic suction cup 601 with a capacity of picking up and placing
